Green Pond Town

Fun game! Not super long but also not super expensive. Totally worth the small price. Fun puzzles (except for a couple of the mini games that hurt my brain and where it wasn’t very clear what you had to do but not a big deal - I used a walkthrough for help with one). Overall a great quality game. I would make two small changes if I could: I’d change the font to something more lyrical and less business like, and I’d make the inventory work so that you could select an item and tap on multiple places instead of having to select the item each time. Small things that would add to the experience imo. But, as I said, a good and fun game!

There are two reviews titled “what and “don’t waste your money.” I would say to them, What? Don’t waste your money? Are you kidding? This is a great game! These people clearly have no clue how these games work. Or how to navigate them. It’s certainly not easy but everything is totally solvable with some time spent thinking and not leaping for a walkthrough. It took me about two days playing a few hours at a time. Maybe a bit shorter than most, but it’s not a short game. About the game… it’s easy to get around and click items. The world feels large but it doesn’t take too much time to get end to end. The items that you collect are minimal and easy to find. The puzzles have layers but the clues are fairly straightforward. A few had me thinking but all made total sense. The story- I’m not sure really, but that has never been important with the CottonGame titles. If you’ve played Rusty Lake, Glitch Games, or other CottonGame titles, you’ll love this. Great work, devs!

Just an awful game. Two stars because one of the “puzzles” is somewhat okay. Story makes no sense and leads to a computer generated devil at the end for some reason. Puzzles were awful. Basically just clicking around to find random items that aren’t labeled to them click randomly with them to hope they work because nothing is clear. Why is the second stick what you needed for the paint easel? You think you’d highlight that you could draw with it. Instead it just looks exactly like the other stick used to light a fire. Why are there so many inventory items that you can’t see all at once? Every other game does this without issue. Just make a visible side panel of all your items instead of having to click through them. Why are there CONSTANT popups of inner thoughts, some of which pause the game for several seconds. It is so infuriating. We get it, the fish needs to be poisoned. Stop telling me every time I go through the room, making the game unplayable for five seconds at a time. Seems like it’s trying to mimic rusty lakes art style and puzzle layout, but just an awful attempt at it. The hardest thing about this entire game is figuring out what the items are for because they are so poorly labeled. Once you realize what they’re meant to be, the game is maybe ten minutes in length. Just horrendous besides one puzzle that takes maybe 90 seconds to do.
